The tiny shadow of a snake did not attract anyone's attention within the bustling main hall and Jun Wu Xie watched as its figure disappeared beyond the threshold of the main hall.
Ink Snake.
She had seen it many times before. Ye Sha and Ye Gu also kept such Ink Snakes by their side. For the banquet this time, Ye Sha and Ye Gu had not taken part in it and now that they had released the Ink Snake, could something have happened?
Puzzlement swirled around Jun Wu Xie's heart. She quietly got up and gave Zi Jin and Yue Yi a look to tell them not to be impatient before she left the main hall without a sound. With the graceful dancing figures of the dancers, the people in the main hall would naturally not notice that a tiny youth had left the banquet midway.
Jun Wu Xie walked out through the main doors of the main hall and under the night sky, she saw that tiny little Ink Snake. The Ink Snake seemed to be consciously waiting for Jun Wu Xie to follow it and it had only slithered out a few steps before it stopped in its spot to wait. It was only until it saw the figure of Jun Wu Xie that it continued to slither away into the darkness.
Jun Wu Xie followed it without batting an eyelid. Most of the disciples who had stayed behind in the Pure Grace Palace had been summoned to the main hall of the Pure Grace Palace. Outside the main hall, under the moonlight, the figures of people were sparse and Jun Wu Xie only had to dodge slightly to avoid the attention of the patrolling disciples.
She followed the Ink Snake all the way towards the little hill outside the Pure Grace Palace.
The further away they were from the hustle and bustle of the Pure Grace Palace, the quieter it became. The mountains at night were tinged with a slight chill and as they gradually moved further away from the lights of the Pure Grace Palace, the forest was once again shrouded in moonlight.
The tiny Ink Snake slithered agilely through the forest and after just a few steps, it stopped for a moment to turn its head to look at Jun Wu Xie's position. After ascertaining that Jun Wu Xie had been following it, it then continued to move forward.
Just what kind of species was this Ink Snake, Jun Wu Xie had still not been able to figure it out. When she had been working in the pet hospital in her past life, she had taken care of some cold-blooded animals and she had come into contact with quite a number of snakes, but she had never seen a snake with such intelligence.
Jun Wu Xie had always been very curious what kind of method Jun Wu Yao and the others had used to make that tiny Ink Snake move according to their will.
Moreover, apart from Jun Wu Yao and the three men from the Night Regime, Jun Wu Xie had never seen such a strange creature before.
Passing through the dense forest, the position that Jun Wu Xie was at was already a level higher than the Pure Grace Palace. She turned her head around slowly and looked down at the brightly lit Pure Grace Palace from above. She could no longer hear the melodious tunes from within the Pure Grace Palace and her ears could only hear the sound of the wind sweeping through the forest.
At that moment, Jun Wu Xie could not help but feel a little strange.
Ye Sha and Ye Gu had been left in the Pure Grace Palace to secretly investigate the situation within the Pure Grace Palace, so why would they suddenly come running out into the forests outside? Moreover, they were already quite a distance away from the Pure Grace Palace and even if the two of them had anything to tell her, they should have appeared by now.
But the Ink Snake did not seem to have any intention of stopping. It continued to swim towards the peak of the mountain, turning its head from time to time, as if urging Jun Xie to catch up to it.
If not for the fact that Jun Wu Xie knew that the Ink Snake could not be ordered around by just anyone, she would have already felt that something was wrong and left immediately.
With a sliver of doubt in her heart, Jun Wu Xie's eyes hid a faint glint of wariness. She kept up with the Ink Snake's speed, treading upon the moonlight, traversing through the forest. It was quiet all around, with only the sound of the night breeze rustling through the trees.
